Self-Timing and Event-Driven Systems

Victor I. Varshavsky,
Professor, Computer Logical Design Laboratory

The problem of global synchronization of local processes in massively parallel computer systems is solved by decomposing the system to processor stratum and synchrostratum.

Using current indication to detect transient process completion moments is analyses to organize asynchronous behavior on the handshake base.

The principles of self-timed data exchange between local processes are considered. Circuits of single-wire bit handshake are developed with throughput not worse than that of double-wire circuits.
